The Hearse, 1980 - A San Francisco teacher inherits a large old house from her aunt and moves away from the city.  She is shunned by the locals when they find out where she lives.  The house has problems and a big, old black hearse keeps driving by the front door at odd hours.

Trish Van Devere, David Geautreaux and Joseph Cotton star in what is mainly a haunted house tale.

OK, but not many scares or gore.  Plays like a made for TV movie.

The Ambulance, 1990 - Comic book artist meets a girl he thinks may be The One for him.  Shortly later, she is whisked away by an old-model ambulance.  He goes to the hospital, only to find that she never arrived.

Stars Eric Roberts, James Ear Jones, Red Buttons and Stan Lee, as himself.

This one is marketed like it is a horror story.  It's not.  This is a crime drama along the lines of Michael Chrichton's "Coma".  Unfortunate attempts at humor and over-the-top car chases with a vehicle that can barely hold the road on the sharp turns take the edge off what could have been a very dark tale.

Too bad.  This could easily have been turned into a proper horror

Mord

The Final - 2010
  Decent revenge flick about bullied high schoolers exacting payback from their tormentors. They plan a costume party with deadly results.

    "They come from the bowels of hell; a transformed race of walking dead. Zombies, guided by a master plan for complete domination of the Earth."

Mord

 Taxi Driver - "One day a real rain will come and wash all the scum off the streets." Some great writing in this film.

I remember the first time I saw Taxi Driver (I was just a kid) the scene were the store owner beats the crap out of the dead robber really disturbed me! Great film. I love the scene with Martin Scorsese as the unhinged passenger.
Monster lovers never grow old....

Godzilla, Mothra, and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack (2001)  8/10

     One of the best G flicks.

The Flesh Eaters (1964)  7/10

     Cheezy Monster goodness with a Nazi mad scientist, bimbos, and a swarm of flesh eating creatures that eventually become a Dai Kaiju sized flesh eating creature. What's not to love?

If it had been made a decade later then copious amounts of nudity and sleaze would have been icing on the cake...or is that just me daydreaming?  >:D
ALWAYS MONSTERING...

You're right, some those scenes linger forever. One Scorsese death has much more impact than hundreds of comic book deaths.

Asylum, 1972 - A young psychiatrist interviewing for a job in Dunsmoor Asylum is told that the head doctor has gone crazy and is now a patient. The interviewee must hear the stories of four of the patients and determine which of them was former head of the asylum.  If he is correct, he gets the job.

An Amicus quartet of tales about madness written by Robert Bloch, starring Peter Cushing, Patrick Magee, Robert Powell, Charlotte Rampling and Britt Ekland.

Standard who's-the-crazy-one fare.  Not bad.  Done better by Poe.

Madhouse, 1974 - Horror star Paul Toombes' fiancĂ© is brutally killed and he loses his mind.  Twelve years later he agrees to a come-back in a TV-series based on his old screen creation, Dr. Death.  The cast and crew begin dying one-by-one in ways similar to the deaths the characters suffered in the actor's old movies.

Vincent Price, Peter Cushing, Robert Quarry star in this American International horror whodunit.


Not bad.  Always good to see Price and Cushing.

Hell Night, 1981 - Fraternity pledges are required to spend the night in an old mansion that is said to be haunted.  What could go wrong, right?

Linda Blair and, well... Linda Blair.  Slasher film produced on less than a million and a half.


Seems a lot cheesier than I remembered, but OK.  Linda's cute face and ample cleavage help distract from plot holes.
